How to Make Sandwich?

1. First, slice the tomatoes, cut the iceberg lettuce into strips, dice the onion, and grate the cheese.
2. Cut the buns in half.
3. Then, heat a frying pan over medium heat, and add sunflower oil, crushed garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Fry for 1 minute. 
4. Remove the garlic, thyme, and rosemary, and add the ground beef and fry until golden brown (5-7 minutes), pouring off any excess fat.
5. Next, add the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and paprika and pour in 7 ounces (200 g) of water. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and simmer over low heat for 1 hour.
6. Heat a frying pan, add sunflower oil, and sauté the onion until golden brown. Add 0,7 ounces (20 g) of butter. Cook over a low heat for half an hour.
7. Add the sautéed onions to the ground beef and set aside.
8. Then, heat a frying pan, and add 2 tablespoons of butter and any fat from the meat. Brown the buns over low heat. 
9. Build the sandwich: Place the cheese, ground beef, and caramelized onions on the bottom. (At this stage, you can melt the cheese with a blowtorch or put it in the oven at 356 F (180 C) for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted). Add the iceberg lettuce and tomatoes, spread the mayonnaise on top, and assemble the sandwich.

Chef Recipe Tips: 

• It’s super important to put garlic and rosemary in a frying pan and heat it with sunflower oil before frying the ground beef. This will allow the essential oils to transfer to the sunflower oil and further saturate the meat. 
• You can add brown sugar to the onions to make them caramelize faster.
